Yet another Cain accuser surfaces

Article here. Suddenly, after all this time, this woman finds his behavior disturbing enough to talk about -- to the press, and anonymously -- years after the fact. Incredible timing. And her actual complaint? Read about it. Why did it not bother her so much as to discuss it back then (all the way back in last century, actually) but suddenly it does now? I want to be clear here, I am not taking political sides in the matter of Republicans v. Democrats in the 2012 election (though like all taxpayers ought to, I do vote). This is about character assassination against men done for political or other reasons by using accusations of sexual or sexually-related misconduct of one kind or another. It makes it hard to be credible when one lodges such a complaint only after a particular man has become prominent or wealthy. The farther away in time after the alleged act has occurred that one has a problem with, the harder it is to take the accusation seriously. Finally, add the level of severity of the alleged offense. An invitation to one's apartment? An "off-color" joke? Ambiguous, *possibly* "sexual" hand gestures? Now add all these factors together and you see what I mean.

'WASHINGTON (AP) — A third former employee says she considered filing a workplace complaint over what she considered aggressive and unwanted behavior by Herman Cain when she worked for the presidential candidate in the 1990s. She says the behavior included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

She worked for the National Restaurant Association when he was its head. She told The Associated Press that Cain made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against him.

The employee described situations in which she said Cain told her he had confided to colleagues how attractive she was and invited her to his corporate apartment outside work. She spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation.

Cain's campaign declined to comment.'
